Kashish Belmont

Kashish in Belmont is located in the center and is easy to find and I picked it for my weekly Indian lunch today.

There is free parking both in front and in the back. Not really sure how you get to the back parking.

The inside was very nice and modern looking with a glass-enclosed area in the back where the tandoori oven resides.

Lentil soup is included with the lunch. It was thin with crushed lentils that might have needed some more cooking. They made the soup a bit gritty. Linen napkins but glass topped tables. The lunch menu could have been a cut and paste from Punjab in Arlington.

I picked the Chicken Vindaloo ($8.95) from the lunch selection. Plenty of rice and a good sized portion of the vindaloo. That was the good part. The vindaloo completely lacked acidity and heat. I ordered it medium and it some out mild. As a vindaloo, it failed altogether, it was just chicken in a mild tomato sauce. The chicken was mostly dark meat, so that was good but the potatoes lacked seasoning. They should have been cooked in salted water. The rice was fragrant and cooked well. My water was refilled promptly.Address 61 Leonard St, Belmont, MA 02478Phone number (617) 484-5111
